or the syntax-phonology interface. Field experience, especially with
American Indian languages, would count in a candidate's favor. It is
essential that candidates be able to document ability to teach a
general introductory course, as well as an elementary course in at
least one other core area of Linguistics (e.g. acoustic phonetics,
syntax, morphology, or semantics). We expect the successful candidate
to be interested in and able to contribute strongly to development of
an undergraduate program in Linguistics.

sent to Prof. Richmond Thomason, Chair, Search Committee, Department
of Linguistics, 2816 CL, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA
